Nine additional women have come forward to sue Bill Cosby, alleging that he used his immense power, fame, and reputation to victimize them through s**ual assault.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Nevada and claims that the women were individually drugged and assaulted between the years of 1979 and 1992 in various locations such as Las Vegas, Reno, and Lake Tahoe homes, dressing rooms, and hotels.
One woman in the lawsuit recounts how Cosby, posing as her acting mentor, enticed her from New York to Nevada, where he drugged her in a hotel room using what he claimed was non-alcoholic sparkling cider and proceeded to rape her.
Cosby, the 85-year-old former star of “The Cosby Show,” has now faced allegations of rape, s**ual assault, and s**ual harassment from over 60 women.
He has consistently denied all accusations of s**ual misconduct.
Cosby was the first high-profile celebrity to be tried and convicted in the #MeToo era.
He spent nearly three years in a state prison near Philadelphia before his conviction was overturned by a higher court in 2021, leading to his release.
Earlier this year, a Los Angeles jury awarded $500,000 to a woman who claimed Cosby had s**ually abused her when she was only 16 years old at the Playboy Mansion in 1975.
KLAS, the CBS affiliate based in Las Vegas, reported specific details of the allegations made by several women in the lawsuit.
The Nevada lawsuit comes shortly after Governor Joe Lombardo signed a bill eliminating the two-year deadline for adults to file s**ual abuse cases.
Similar suits have emerged in other states following the implementation of “lookback laws.”
One of the plaintiffs, Lise-Lotte Lublin, a native of Nevada, had been an advocate for this change in legislation.
She had previously accused Cosby of drugging her and raping her at a Las Vegas hotel in 1989.
The Associated Press does not publicly identify individuals who claim to be victims of s**ual assault unless they choose to come forward.
Lotte-Lublin stated in a statement cited by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, “For years, I have fought for survivors of s**ual assault, and today is the first time I will be able to fight for myself.
With the new law change, I now have the ability to take my assailant Bill Cosby to court.
My journey has just begun, but I am grateful for this opportunity to seek justice.”
In California, a former Playboy model filed a lawsuit against Cosby on June 1, alleging that he drugged and s**ually assaulted her and another woman at his home in 1969.
The lawsuit was made possible by a new California law that suspends the statute of limitations on s** abuse claims.
Cosby's publicist, Andrew Wyatt, criticized such laws in a statement, saying, “Mr. Cosby is a citizen of the United States, but these judges and lawmakers consistently allow these civil suits to flood their dockets, knowing that these women are not fighting for victims but for their addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed.”
Wyatt added, “From this day forward, we will not continue to allow these women to parade various accounts of alleged allegations against Mr. Cosby without vetting them in the court of public opinion and inside the
